Daniel Ray Esh

Daniel Ray Esh breeds Percherons in Ickesburg, PA, in Perry County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. He maintains the herd through regular veterinary checkups, annual farrier visits, conformation assessments and participation in national Percheron registry programs to support transparent records.

Horses are housed in pasture-based paddocks with shelter access and receive daily turnout to encourage natural grazing and healthy development. Foals grow up alongside adult draft mares, learning basic ground manners before beginning gentle harness training under quiet guidance.

The farm hosts seasonal plowing demonstrations for local farmers and families, highlighting the breed’s reliable strength and calm disposition in field work. Each animal benefits from balanced nutrition sourced locally, including hay and pasture harvested on the property and customized mineral supplements. Prospective owners find detailed breeding records and personal support for training routines grounded in over a decade of experience with Percherons.
